His gaze fell on Melissa who continued to speak. "Luxin has been meeting with you often. Is he taking care of you?"
At those words Melissa sighed deeply. "You're very kind Lord Rhys, but you can be quite harsh too."
"Huh?"
"I received a confession from him. He admitted that he has liked me for awhile now. But due to the nature of our relationship he did not pursue those feelings."
Rhys eyes widened, surprised. He did think it was unusual. When he was making plans on Melissa's accommodation after she left the brothel, he decided on putting an escort around her. Everybody knew of their relationship, and there were many who wanted his head.
Luxin strangely volunteered. It saved him the trouble of finding an escort but he still found it strange. So this is the reason why.
"Judging from that expression, it seems like you had no clue. But it's still harsh of you."
"Well, did you-"
